This is the gold iPhone 5s

Love it or hate it, the gold iPhone is real. You may be one of the naysayers who calls it tacky, but admit it, you know deep inside that you probably adore it — humans just have an unnatural attraction to gold. What do you need to know about the new model other than the glamour shots below? Well, Apple says it'll be available alongside the slate and silver models, and it's officially called gold, not champagne, if you were wondering. And a fun fact before you check out those photos: the last time Apple made a broadly available device in gold was with the original iPod Mini nearly a decade ago. Gold's back!
